The par-boiling process will also help to cut down on cook time, since grilling raw potatoes can take quite a while.

A potatoes ideal grilling temperature is 350 degrees. This will ensure that your potato is cooked through and has a nice crispy skin.

However, if your potato is on the larger side, you may need to increase the grilling time slightly to account for its size. Additionally, keep in mind that some weather conditions may affect the cooking time of your potato ( windy days can cause heat to escape from the grill more quickly, for example).
